The error is to be expected, when the ECU doesnt see the EACV it will throw the code. Nothing odd in that, but the EACV code shouldnt effect the starting of the engine, just the idle. Did you try starting the engine after unbolting the EACV compltely, leaving the port exposed? I'd think the only thing that would happen would be an extremely high idle. Leave the 2P connected to the EACV while you do it even, just unbolt it from the manifold. You'll be able to watch it actuate the valve inside as well. Make sure the passageway for the intake air to the EACV isnt blocked by something. Also make sure your EACV isn't clogged full of crud, use a solvent (I think I used throttle body cleaner) to clean it. > Still won't start.

You need to also do the standard check of grounds, this almost sounds like one of those ground wire gremlins. > I believe someone said that the EAVC is around $100 (USD) from the > dealer (and about $2.00 for the seal). I have two spare EACVs here, let me know if you want one to try before getting raped by the Dealer parts people. If you get it and it works, we can work something out. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
